About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 50 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The participants have experienced spontaneous upper back pain for longer than 12 weeks (chronic) and that at least one trigger point will be present in the s trapezius muscles. Trigger points will be diagnosed as the presence of focal tenderness in a taut band and with pain recognition.
  • The participants will be able to follow instructions.
  • Good communication and cooperation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Fibromyalgia syndrome
  • Cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy)
  • Cervical spine surgery

    Control

    Arm Description

    The participants will receive the ischemic compression with stretching onto the trapezius muscle

    Rest on the bed

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Pain score on Visual analog scale
    The intensity of pain will be reported by the participant on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10. Zero indicates no pain anywhere and 10 indicates the most pain ever experienced

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Pressure Pain Threshold as a measure by pressure algometry
    Anxiety on State Anxiety Inventory
    Cervical range of motion
    Patient satisfaction level
